I'll bet the occupants turn out to have known at least some of the intruders. The whole thing sounds shifty. I'll bet the occupants of the home that was invaded were involved in the drug trade.

And for those who think I am cheering at the deaths of 2 people, it's not that simple. These two pieces of garbage chose to invade someone's home for whatever reason. They did so ARMED. They chose their own death. They could have chosen to stay at home, and watch tv, have a beer, and discuss the baseball season. They could have done laundry, played video games, dozens of things were available to them. They chose to commit an armed invasion of someone's home, and paid the ultimate consequence.

This was their choice. Choices have consequences, this time, the consequence was their lives.

I think most liberals believe it's open season when someone invades your house armed. I disagree with some of the gun control measures politicians are trying to put forth, but I think self-defense is somethign both side of the aisle agree on.

It also shows you can't count on the cops.

However while a armed home invasion can happen by chance, more likely the thugs new something about the house or people that made them target.
When many of them have asked, "Why do you need a mag bigger then 10 rounds?" , I respond with your exact situation. What if is there or 3 or 4 bad guys with 10 round mags? Seldom respond back.

Alot of people are scum. Alot of people are lower then pond scum. And, unfortunately, attitudes such as yours keep alot of people alive in this society, which should be dead. Life is not fluffy clouds and rainbows. Life is mean, rotten, and nasty. People will kill you for a look on your face and nothing more.

The people who committed this crime and worthless criminals, with absolutely NO socially redeeming value. They are not going to invent the better mouse trap, how to slice bread, or have any positive effect on our society as a whole. Their death was preordained and 100% their own responsibility.

NO tears of remorse, sadness, or anything else need to be shed. The state of North Carolina and the country for that matter, is now slightly a better place.

You actually expect someone to risk their life and everything they own to help someone like you who's anti-gun? People like you are exactly why I'll never use a gun to come to the aid of a complete stranger.

I am pro-life.

I celebrate the defense of innocent lives.
You're pro life only when it suits you.

Got it.

Just saying, regardless of the justification of the murder or murder-in-self-defense it's still that - murder.

And you're celebrating it.

You call yourself American?

Look I'm glad that the person who was being robbed is fine and all that, but you're celebrating the loss of human life. Where's the moral purity in that? How is that justified?

I don't get it. Maybe I just have higher and better morals than you. Oh well, looks like my service this country is getting spat on by people who celebrate death.

Wonderful.
